Building your GIS
Customized to your specific needs
In collaboration with our client, a needs assessment is conducted to find out what you want your GIS to do. We talk with all the people who will manage and operate your network and those who have a need to use the information. From this fact finding, the necessary GIS tasks are decided along with a list of data requirements. NewCom can identify source of all the available GIS data, such as county datasets and tax assessor data, on which to base your GIS. If no dataset exists, it can be created.
Next, an evaluation of the legacy data about your facilities and municipal assets — maps and CAD files, paper records, computer files — is performed. After analysis of the needs assessment and legacy data, you are given a quote for the basic system.
